Iproverbs from central Africa.

Some of our missionaries have collected
number of Central African proverbs.
Many of them appear as old friends in q
new dress but most have a freshness OF
the soil about them. Others, again, are as
prosy as-well, as proverbs ought not to
be- A few of them are as follows:
He that injuries another Injuries himself.
He who forgives is victor in the dispute.
We should not treat others with con-
tempt.
An inmate that cannot be tanned (said of
fire..
The sword does not know the head of
the blacksmith (who made it).
A mischief-maker will not do to tell
secrets to.
If the whole assembly of the town con-
vene, they find no sacrifice to make against
sorrow.
Though many guests be absent, it is the
cheerful man we miss.
He who harnesses one, teaches him
strength.
The pig has wallowed in the mire, he is
seeking a clean person to rub against (said
of disgraced persons who wish to keep good
company.
A strong man without economy is the
father of laziness.
Help to the end is the help we must give
10 lazy man.
A bride puts the Judges eye out, for a
bride never speaks the truth.
The thread follows the path of the needle.
A stubborn man gets into trouble, PHI
able man is imposed on.
The vaulted tomb frightens old men.
A scorpion stings with his tail, saucy
servant with his eye.
He fled from the sword and hid in the
scabbard.
Don't hang your troubles on my neck.
He who claps for fool to dance is no
better than a fool.

Ashes fly in the face of the thrower.

use Of it kept him pretty constantly IN
need of all he got. lie lived well, and was
liberal in his charities; he gratified his

man, hut possessed fair inland estate in
the agricultural development and adorn-
ment Of which he took intense pleasure.
In style he was noted for wealth of thought,
richness Of illustration and yigor of ex-
preston. What he lacked in philosophic
depth and profoundly, he made up for
completely by the trenchant manner in
which he treated all subjects, by the
symmetry of his discourses, the brilliancy
of his Language, and the master strokes he
delivered for free thought, liberty and
human progress. He was preacher and
teacher for great audiences and popular
assemblies. rather than lecturer for pro-
foundry learned bodies. His appeals were
far more likely to reach the heart and
quicken the pulse than TO stir the depths
of thought or invite dissection by the
phiIosophic. He was one of the most
brilliant and notable products of Auleri-
can intellectually, and he made an i'm
preston on the age that viii not die out of
